I decided to give it up because of the artificial food colorings and just in general because it is pure junk.....pure DELICIOUS junk!! =P I haven't had them in 5 months, which is the longest I've gone without them since middle school! I hope I've kicked the habit for good now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-253255 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:24:03 +0000 howjoyful 253255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely sleeping on my stomach and martinis - I do eat a green olive every time I crave one, I close my eyes and imagine the rest LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-253151 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:02:19 +0000 aprk 253151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: haha I am with you on the last bit ... it's frustrating to not be 'normal' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-252643 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 05:56:29 +0000 mynoahbear 252643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coke,caramel frappuccinos, Caesar salads </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-252641 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 05:50:08 +0000 dagret 252641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing's been really hard to give up - I am an everything in moderation person (except Booze and unpasteurized milk and cheese, there was a big listeria outbreak at a local dairy that sells raw milk and cheese about a month ago) - but I really, really, really miss being able to poop everyday (sorry, tmi). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-252637 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 04:37:07 +0000 sera_87 252637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sleeping on my stomach!!<br /> i miss being invited out with friends because I can't drink....but I think that says more about my friends immaturity than anything :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-252568 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:39:11 +0000 pinkcupcake 252568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee (I'm an Iced Venti Americano twice a day kinda gal...) and sushi.

For some reason, the summer makes me want a cold beer or a margarita, and it's been weird watching others. I'm excited for when it gets colder because then I'll just crave hot chocolate. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-251013 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:19:39 +0000 MamaMoose 251013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: @MrsCastro: My doctor (and a lot of my friend's doctors) are totally fine with fro yo. The chance is sooooo miniscule. I'm not eating it every day or anything but if hubs wants fro yo I go with him and I get one and I don't think twice about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250994 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:06:34 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 250994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely coffee.

Mama needs a cocktail. And with college football season coming up, not enjoying a beer with the game will suck. All worth it, of course, but still sucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250980 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:50:13 +0000 Arden 250980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: Isn't it sad? Soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt are no no's because the machines often harbor listeria. Hard serve ice cream is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250910 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:56:25 +0000 Running Elley 250910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Running.

I LOVE coffee, and I really miss frappes. I make them myself with water-processed-chemical-free-decaf coffee, but it's a lot of work and not quite as good as starbucks or micky d's frappes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250818 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:57:54 +0000 littlebug 250818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Deli sandwiches for sure. And sleeping on my back. I am shocked at how easy it was for me to give up booze - I love trying new beers and wine, so I thought it would be really hard. I find that I don't miss it much at all. Even on Saturday, I was out with a bunch of people at a brewery, and didn't even feel any sadness or jealousy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250809 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:52:26 +0000 JerricaBenton 250809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss coffee and tea so much! For me the most enjoyable part is the ritual of brewing coffee in the morning or fixing a nice cup of tea in the afternoon! I'm not doing any coffee or tea right now even though I know a cup is ok. I've always been very caffeine sensitive (like it took me years to work up to one cup of coffee a day without feeling awful) so I just feel like it's best for me to stay away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250799 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:47:20 +0000 Smurfette 250799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I love Jimmy Johns.

Couldn't get comfortable otherwise. :) I asked my mom how she slept and her dad told her to sleep on her back, so she back slept on the floor with all 3 of us! </p> <p>I don't drink alcohol and can do without caffeine, so I didn't really have to give anything up during my 1st and 2nd pregnancies..<br /> I had sushi and deli sandwiches every once in a while too. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250698 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:49:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 250698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stomach Sleeping and alcohol in the beginning, I miss being able to have a glass of wine with everyone at dinner!

I've been very laissez faire about the other "rules" re: food and lifestyle, but not drinking. Some bourbon would be heavenly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-hardest-thing-for-you-to-give-up-during-pregnancy#post-250688 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:45:12 +0000 matador84 250688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely alcohol. </p>
